Our verdict

Choose Google AI Plus for Gemini in Google apps and the storage bundle. Choose Google AI Pro if you also want Antigravity, NotebookLM, YouTube Premium Lite, Home Premium, and the larger set of Google benefits.

AI Pro is the coding tier, but Antigravity still looks unfinished and Google has no top-tier model for planning or hard work.

Google AI Pro has no Gemini model we would pick for coding now. Sonnet 5.5 does the fast, cheap work better. Antigravity is rough and often leaves you guessing what it is doing. The plan also includes 5 TB of storage, NotebookLM, YouTube Premium Lite, Home Premium and Gemini in Google apps.

Cons

  • No Gemini model we would pick for coding
  • Antigravity is rough

Best for People who want basic AI usage and will use the Google bundle.

How far it goes: about 4 to 6 times a week

Our whole real-world issues and spec planning pass runs about 4 to 6 times a week on this plan, depending on which model you run.

That works out at about 73c to $1.09 of the subscription per run, at the list price.

Measured on this plan, at 15.9% to 23.7%/1w of its allowance per run. A share belongs to the plan it was measured on, so we never subtract one plan's from another's.

Verdicts and prices are the quiz's versioned editorial catalog, last reviewed 2026-10-01. The plan cards keep measured evidence separate from the recommendation. Any other pair composes on the subscription comparison, and the quiz turns your answers into a recommendation.
